Guardian Camera Club: Seamo66 on sport photography

This is definitely a portfolio for the rowing aficionado. There are nonetheless some interesting images. 'Lactic' loses highlight detail but the panning technique imbues it with some drama; 'The Call' is certainly the best image, the juxtaposition of boat and bicycle works extremely well. 'Blades' and 'The Cox' are OK, but better is 'The Gut' which has a broad sense of scale, and shows more of what's actually going on. 'Bumping Out' is neither here or there, and isn't really worth including. A search for more original viewpoints (elevation for example) would add to this set, and also don't ignore what goes on when the boats aren't actually on the water. Sports photography doesn't just have to be about the race itself!
